Concerned Citizen posted:I get everyone hates Bloomberg, but it is actually weird that he's been excluded so far. He's sitting out the first four state races, and seems more interested in playing the spoiler for Bernie than in actually beating Trump. Also he was a Republican until pretty much last week. The fact that people haven't been taking him seriously has been the sane position to take. That said, I like that he'll be on the stage to be a billionaire punching bag for Sanders.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:When a gay canidate is so terrible that he is losing the gay vote. That's part of what's been so great about this primary so far. So many of the candidates running almost entirely on idpol signifiers have crashed and burned pathetically. Harris and Booker, IIRC, only ended up with single-digit support among black voters, while women, LGBTQ+ folks, and POCs have flocked to Bernie. Shockingly, POCs, LGBTQ+ people, and women all want M4A, a Green New Deal, and student loan forgiveness more than they want a minority candidate who won't give them the things they need to survive.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:A sign of progress really. I think I would have likely been much more pro-Buttigieg a decade ago. This is why opposition to racism, LGBTphobias, sexism, etc. are essential for working-class movements because opposing those things builds unity within the class. If I'm gay and we smash the phobia, I don't feel like I need to support Mayor Pete. Plus I'm sure the campaign doing a good job of tying in LGBTQ+ issues directly to M4A, etc, didn't hurt. That's something they can continue to improve upon, of course, but my goodness, they're doing a much better job of it now than they did four years ago.

Pick posted:Yeah but Bernie doesn't want just young people and can't win with just young people, he wants enthusiastic people from all demos. He'll get them, particularly when he keeps showing he can win early primary and caucus states and other candidates start dropping out. At this point, a lot of older folks who would be behind him are just too beaten-down to even hope he could win. So it's up to us to show them he can win, and when we do, they'll turn out.

Concerned Citizen posted:bernie's numbers on post-realignment aren't too encouraging. it seems like basically a wash, which doesn't seem great for super tuesday and beyond when candidates start dropping out You're doing your usual concern trolling shtick, I see, but I'll answer this earnestly: Bernie's numbers look fine. Even if Pete actually squeaked out a win (he won't), he put all his chips on Iowa and has very little chance to win states going forward. Particularly diverse ones, because POC voters quite justifiably hate his guts.

Preggo My Eggo! posted:Imagine you're just starting to tune into the nomination because the primaries and caucuses are beginning. The news story you'll hear about is the results delay and Pete claiming victory anyways. You will not hear pundits talking about the momentum of the Sanders campaign, his victory, or how he outperformed polling (again). It's all about what's in the news cycle rather than the actual delegates awarded by the process. The mainstream media effectively shut Bernie out over the last couple years, except for a few segments of mostly-negative coverage. It hasn't stopped him. The media narrative of last night isn't going to stop him either. The old media is dead. Bread Set Jettison posted:who the poo poo is bennet Appalling conservadem former senator of Colorado.

PepsiOverCoke posted:I'm saying as a candidate, he has the potential to pick up those voters that are currently supporting Biden if the shine wears off Biden. Something like half of all black Democratic voters have indicated that they would never vote for Buttigieg, IIRC. So no, they're not going over to him. FuzzySlippers posted:I'm pretty sure Iowa shitshow narrative is set which sucks for Bernie. He won but it'll be off the headlines. Eh, it was never going to be in the headlines anyway. The mainstream media's MO has been to either poo poo on Bernie, or else ignore him at all costs. What matters is that Biden's electability myth has been punctured.

Rad Russian posted:Honestly Bloomberg's spoiler destroying the electoral college might be worth 4 more years of Trump, I don't know. Hopefully people would rebel to get the remaining few needed states into the interstate compact. This election already destroyed the caucus nonsense at least. Bloomberg's tiny following only exists because they idiotically think that only a billionaire can beat another billionaire (Trump). He wouldn't be able to buy enough votes to play the spoiler, even with all his money.
